Spoooooky Eyes in the Mirror

With Halloween quickly creeping around the corner its time to get in the spirit! Here is a fun craft you and the kids can make to dress up the house a little bit:

Materials:
Any frame (old or new) with glass intact
Spray adhesive
Glitter in desired color for frame
Eye template   
Fine-tipped bottle of craft glue
Black glitter Glow-in-the-dark glitter
Silver mylar

  

How-To:
1. With glass removed, coat entire frame with spray adhesive and cover with desired glitter color.

2. Google and print eye template, scaling to desired size. Place template under the frame glass. Trace eye shape onto top of glass with a fine-tipped bottle of craft glue. Sprinkle with black glitter and let dry for a few hours.

3. When dry, turn glass over, and fill in area that is considered the white of the eye with the craft glue. Cover with glow-in-the-dark glitter and let dry.

4. To create the "mirror," cut a piece of mylar to the size of the backing board. Adhere to backing board with spray adhesive.

5. Insert glass, black glitter s ide facing out, and mirror into frame. Secure pieces in place, and hang.
